Trying to get Hydra to return correct results, not with much luck..

So I set up the router with;
login = ADMIN
password = ADMIN
No encryption, DHCP enabled.

Created a login.txt file with random logins including ADMIN.
Created a password.txt with random passwords including ADMIN.

Associate with router, dhcpcd, then start hydra with following command ;

hydra -L login.txt -P password.txt -V -e ns -f 192.168.1.1 http-get /

So it runs through the attempts, however even after passing the correct logins and passwords,
it continues without advising what the correct login / password was before stopping shortly after.

Using the -o option writes used login/password combinations, but doesnt advise the correct login/password either.

Am I missing an option here to advise Hydra to tell me what the login/password is ?
(obviously I am..)

Any advice from anyone here ?

Edit
----
I seem to be getting very varied results.. if I move the correct login / password lower down
in the .txt file, the crack seems to stop immediately when found, so I can assume that the
last noted combo is correct, if I move the correct login/password up in the list
(so more combos needed) it says valid pair found, however it hasnt reached it yet..

I seem to have it working now on both linksys routers I have, both running stock firmware
(one used as AP other not connected to internet)
So am pretty sure the reason it was not working was the way / when the login/passwords needed to be entered.

For some reason hydra working consistently on linksys routers, but xhydra not..
Oh well.. am slowly getting there now to figure out how to do on my asus router and I will be happy to have learned a bit more !

Thanks again.

well I shant bring this one back to the front again, so just a simple edit

Just to say that I got hydra working on the dd-wrt firmware as well by following similar
to above ;

> Ran wireshark while in the dd-wrt page at 192.168.1.1
> Clicked on the Administrator section to capture what was been sent / requested -- stopped capture
> In wireshark saw that it was looking for GET /Management.asp
